About

What CodeLlama is

Code Llama is a collection of pretrained and fine-tuned generative text models ranging in scale from 7 billion to 34 billion parameters. This is the repository for the base 7B version in the Hugging Face Transformers format. This model is designed for general code synthesis and understanding. Links to other models can be found in the index at the bottom.

[!NOTE] This is a non-official Code Llama repo. You can find the official Meta repository in the Meta Llama organization.

Model Use

To use this model, please make sure to install transformers from main until the next version is released:

pip install transformers accelerate

Model capabilities:

  • [x] Code completion.
  • [x] Infilling.
  • [ ] Instructions / chat.
  • [ ] Python specialist.

Model Details

*Note: Use of this model is governed by the Meta license. Meta developed and publicly released the Code Llama family of large language models (LLMs).

Model Developers Meta

Variations Code Llama comes in three model sizes, and three variants:

  • Code Llama: base models designed for general code synthesis and understanding
  • Code Llama - Python: designed specifically for Python
  • Code Llama - Instruct: for instruction following and safer deployment

All variants are available in sizes of 7B, 13B and 34B parameters.

This repository contains the base model of 7B parameters.

Input Models input text only.

Output Models generate text only.

Model Architecture Code Llama is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture.

Model Dates Code Llama and its variants have been trained between January 2023 and July 2023.

Status This is a static model trained on an offline dataset. Future versions of Code Llama - Instruct will be released as we improve model safety with community feedback.

License A custom commercial license is available at: https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/

Research Paper More information can be found in the paper "Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code" or it's arXiv page.

Intended Use

Intended Use Cases Code Llama and its variants is intended for commercial and research use in English and relevant programming languages. The base model Code Llama can be adapted for a variety of code synthesis and understanding tasks, Code Llama - Python is designed specifically to handle the Python programming language, and Code Llama - Instruct is intended to be safer to use for code assistant and generation applications.

Out-of-Scope Uses Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws). Use in languages other than English. Use in any other way that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy and Licensing Agreement for Code Llama and its variants.

Hardware and Software

Training Factors We used custom training libraries. The training and fine-tuning of the released models have been performed Meta’s Research Super Cluster.

Carbon Footprint In aggregate, training all 9 Code Llama models required 400K GPU hours of computation on hardware of type A100-80GB (TDP of 350-400W). Estimated total emissions were 65.3 tCO2eq, 100% of which were offset by Meta’s sustainability program.

Training Data

All experiments reported here and the released models have been trained and fine-tuned using the same data as Llama 2 with

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys codellama for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (codellama below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"codellama","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
